Fox Coloring Pages for Kids — Free & Printable

The Sitting Fox. The classic portrait: a fox sitting up tall and facing you, with its big bushy tail curled neatly around its feet. Big simple shapes make this the easiest fox for the youngest colorists — and that tail is one big, satisfying sweep of orange.

The Standing Fox. A fox standing in side profile, tail held high, glancing back over its shoulder like it just heard something interesting. Foxes really do freeze and listen like this — their hearing is so good they can hear a mouse squeak from far away.

The Baby Fox Kit. A baby fox is called a kit, and kits are born in spring with their eyes closed, opening them after about two weeks. This little one sits in the grass among simple flowers — a gentle page for preschoolers, with the flowers as a bonus coloring treat.

The Fox in Autumn Leaves. The most detailed page in the set: a fox standing among big fallen autumn leaves. It is the natural match for a red fox coat — kids can make the leaves match the fox, or go full autumn rainbow with reds, golds, and browns.

The Sleeping Fox. A fox curled into a perfect round ball, tail wrapped over its nose like a built-in blanket. Real foxes sleep exactly like this to stay warm. One big round shape makes it a calm, quick color — a lovely quiet-time page.

The Friendly Fox Face. Just the face, big and friendly: pointy ears, a white muzzle, and a smile. The face close-up is the fastest page to finish and the most fun to decorate — rosy cheeks, a patterned forehead, or a flower tucked behind one ear.

All six outline pages and all six colored versions are completely free — no account, no sign-up, no watermark. Just open, print, and color.

Every fox in the set also has a finished colored version. They are lovely to look at on their own — and on the kids page they do something special, explained below: they draw their own outlines first, and then their colors fade in.

Coloring tip: kids can copy the colors from the finished versions, invent completely different ones, or color the outline first and then check their finished fox against the colored one. A blue fox breaks no rules — real red foxes keep their orange, but paper foxes can be anything.

The foxes live in the kids section of TimelapsePhoto.art, in the Animals category, alongside the cat, dog, sheep, elephant, and unicorn pages. Printing takes less than a minute:

1. 1. Open the kids page and tap the Animals category to see all six fox pictures.
2. 2. Open the outline picture you want, then use your browser print option (or save the image first and print it). The high-contrast black-and-white outlines print cleanly on standard letter or A4 paper.
3. 3. Color away. The real red fox palette is a perfect starter: orange for the coat, cream white for the chest, muzzle, and tail tip, and dark brown or black for the ear tips and lower legs. Crayons, markers, and colored pencils all work well on the bold outlines.

Here is the part that makes these foxes different from a static printable. On the kids page, press play on a fox and it draws itself stroke by stroke, like an invisible hand is sketching it. With the colored versions, there is a second act: once the outline is complete, the full color fades in, so a plain line drawing turns into a finished colored fox right before your eyes.

Teachers can build a whole fox moment around this. On the free For Teachers & Schools page, you can select all six foxes — outline and colored versions alike — and play them as one continuous drawing show on the classroom screen, add your school logo, loop it for quiet time, or record it as a single video.

Kids own finished pages can join the fun as well: photograph a colored fox, upload it to the drawing animation tool, and watch their exact artwork redraw itself as a video — free, with no sign-up. Or turn a photo of a real pet into its own printable page with our pet photo to coloring page guide.

1. The red fox is the one in these pages. It is the most common fox in the world, and the one most kids picture: orange coat, white chest, and a tail so big and fluffy it has its own name — a brush.

2. Foxes are mostly night animals. They hunt and explore at dusk and during the night, then curl up to sleep through much of the day — which is why the sleeping fox in this set is drawn mid-nap.

3. A fox tail is a tool, not just decoration. It helps the fox balance when it runs and turns, works like a blanket in cold weather, and the white tip helps baby foxes follow their mother through tall grass.

4. Foxes hear incredibly well. A red fox can hear a watch ticking from about 40 yards away, and in winter it listens for animals moving under the snow before pouncing through it.

5. Fox families are close. Kits stay with their parents for most of their first year, learning to hunt by pouncing on grasshoppers and playing chase — which is really practice in disguise.

Foxes are six new faces in a much bigger library. The kids page now has more than 100 pictures across nine categories — Thanksgiving, Christmas, Halloween, Sea Animals, Animals, Dinosaurs, Space Explorers, Princess, and K-Pop Stars — every one free to print, and every one able to draw itself. Start with our dinosaur coloring pages, or the seasonal sets: free Christmas coloring pages and free Thanksgiving coloring pages.
